Delores made this wonderful t-shirt quilt for her granddaughter, Lyndsey. Lyndsey is obviously a great fast pitch softball player according to the shirts! This is a great collection of shirts to preserve all the memories of the fun times that she had playing softball.

I found this small old quilt in a antique shop the other day and brought it home, tossed it in our claw foot tub to soak away the grim, and these old tops do have grim in them, and gently squeezed out the water and rinsed it, air dried it a bit and pressed it and the quilt really brightened up! Most of the stains of oldness came out and then I bought some pink Kona for the backing, added a strip of feed sack green down the center of the back to make it large enough and there you have it!

I used a variety of feather designs to cover the quilt.

I used Light Hot Pink thread.

Some of the fabrics are 30's, but there are certainly 40's and a bit of 50's thrown in there, but they all seem to live well together so it is ok with me!

This quilt was originally tied by Betty's church ladies, so Betty bought it and took the ties out and had me quilt it. Sorry, the picture looks a bit strange as the quilt is just draped over my cutting table. Now she has a quilt and not a comforter!

Brenda is a grandmother for the second time and this little cute panel quilt is what she had me quilt for the newborn, Hudson. A soft snugly flannel! The quilting pattern was I Love It and the thread was Queens Turquoise.

Linda made this Christmas quilt which was supposed to have a white background and red squares, but she said she isn't a" red and white" person so she used browns instead and calls this her "country" Christmas quilt.
